A SENIOR REMINISCES I-Iere I am abouT To leave someThing wiTh which I have lived Tor Tour long years. I'm noT reTerring To The school building called Thomas JeTTer- son I-ligh School, buT To The very pulsaTing hearT oT iTs busy inTerior, iTs Throbbing acTiviTy-represenTing parT oT me ThaT will remain eTched on my mind long aTTer my hair Turns gray and my sTeps begin To TalTer. I'II open This book TwenTy years Trom now and smile wisTTully as I recall all The Tun and scrapes which only healThy, exuberanT youTh can really enioy. l'II remember how we seniors would scornTully order Treshmen ouT oT our way as we walked haughTily Through The halls. I-low I envy Those Treshies nowl I'll remember dressing Tor gym, praying Tor The bell in The law class, Tearing aT my hair in bookkeeping, and biTing my nails beTore The English RegenTs. I'II remember The milling crowds oT bobby-socks and bow-Ties spliTTing The sides oT The elevaTor, and I'II remember how The program commiTTee made liTe miserable The TirsT Two weeks oT every Term. I'II remember, lovingly, JeTTerson. SYLVIA SCHORR
